Our own research, demonstrators and funded projects.

Rehearsed in the lab, then run on the plant: the same procedure twice, first where it is allowed to fail.

Three and a half years of research into cybersecurity for road and rail

A rail vehicle runs for 30 to 40 years. The fleet that has to be secured is long since in service, and it cannot be swapped for secure new vehicles. Cars and trains today run software, are connected, and tie in external services. Attacks therefore have to be detected in the vehicles that exist, during operation, and without disturbing the safety-critical technology.

An average new vehicle holds up to 150 electronic control units and more than 100 million lines of code, more than a modern airliner. Connectivity over CAN, Ethernet, Bluetooth, RFID, Wi-Fi and mobile networks opens up a great many new ways in.
